Family gathering - Part I

My brother and family and my parents came for a visit. I havent seen my brother and family for at least 1 full year as we missed each other during the last CNY. It was such a joyous family get-together though we had to squeeze a little at my place. Nicole insisted on sleeping with my parents and Samantha, my 7 seven year old niece, thus adding on to the "squeeziness" upstairs. The two girls really got on very well. They were holding hands everywhere they went. They waited for each other before going to bed. They ate together, played together, just a tad short of bathing and pooing together. :) It was such an endearing moment :) Enough siad of the girls.

The boys on the other hand, didnt really play much together. E is 3.5 yo while Joe is slightly over 4. E somehow preferred to play with his uncle. E insisted that all the visitors should stay with him but I had to tell him our place is too small to accommodate all on a long term basis. Hmm, perhaps, we should consider moving to a house instead which has been a fierce debate between L and I . L has always preferred a landed property for its sheer generosity of space while I prefer a condo for its facilities and you can see whose preference has prevailed over the years :) Well, perhaps, having a piece of land (without the full condo facilities) may not be such a bad idea afterall. We will see :)
